The owner is really receptive to feedback and they get things taken care of quickly. They are quick to respond to any concerns. I requested to have the carpets cleaned in the hallway and they got it taken care of. I am a clean individual so I clean what I see is dirty around the facility. It takes a collective effort to keep up with the place. My grandmother would say. We are poor but we are not dirty people. I am lucky to have the freedom to decorate my space any way I'd like and be able to start a small business. I'm one of the few that has a rad recording booth. I'm very proud of my little femme den.

I did a recording session at Lockout Studios. The producer's studio was great and clean. But the building as a whole isdisgusting. The bathroom had human fecal matter and menstrual blood. It looked like the bathroom hasn't been cleaned in weeks. It's almost like people are living in some of the spaces. read more

I had a phone call with one of their managers "Kate" she assured me things would change and that they will be working with me. I speak with another manager same thing. I get sent on a tour, get shown the wrong room. I am told said room is available, I am shown another room that wast the right fit no worries it happens. I decide the one room is the right fit I fill out the paper work. The next day, Shawn texts me and says there's a problem with the room and to take another tour to figure it out. 13 phone calls and texts later, he calls back and his solution is "well honestly you can leave if you are h happy" "we are understaffed and busy" all because I was irritated and mad that they were so callous about their mistake. I was also told they can't do a tour for me today because it's Friday, when their answering machine says they are open 7 days a week 9am-9pm. When in actuality they are open Monday-Saturday but after 5 (when the studios are usually busy) it's usually one person. They will take your money all day. All day. They will say they are going to help but won't. I don't get why Shawn's first response was to say, well, if you are that angry you can always just leave and we will let you out? read more

See all

Lockout Music Studios - Recording & Rehearsal Studios Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I've been renting a music studio space with Lockout for 2 years & 2 months now. This review asked me first if it's worth the price -- it most definitely is. I've been to my fair share of music studios , both professional & "personal", big & small. I would say Lockout has a great balance of more "personal" spaces. This is ideal for the individual artist needing that space they can call their own to create in & rely on it to give them that freedom they need to get the real "work" done. If you are the artist who needs just the right "little" to do the whole "lot" -- this is it. You will experience louder artists than you. Sometimes the locations & the entrances can be misleading because of the fact that these locations are in downtown... let's be honest here. We're in a downtown area. There is a lot of activity going on 24/7 all around & possible distractions--neighbors can be part of this. If you ask me, as an artist you should be learning how to work in the middle of storms anyway & these studios offer you a pretty nice deal to be working in this area for their prices. & yes , the location of them adds value -- not cost, but value. I was born & raised here in Santa Ana. we are in the middle of much gentrification & people looking out for the wrong reasons & upsizing rent wherever they can. Lockout seriously has the influence placing their tenants here. I have several mutuals in the community who rent or have in the past, from them. If you haven't heard much of them, give them a shot. Elizabeth & the whole team are only getting better at what they do & can be depended on. read more

They would not refund me my security deposit, because you need to give exactly one month notice. (Which is bs on a month to month rental.) Constant terrible smells, tobacco smoke, etc. As others have mentioned, they spam your phone number even after you move out, I had to block the numbers lol. Sound bleed from other rooms is terrible. Also they do room inspections... weird fucking place. Bathrooms are disgusting and neglected for weeks at a time. Not to mention a whole community of people living there out of their studios. Notice all of the fake positive reviews they created with different accounts. Wish I would've read reviews on this place before wasting 1000$! Do not give them your money! read more

Worst place for a musician to be creative .. seriously I was there for almost a year and the constant noise from these so called "sound proof" rooms is unbearable if your trying to record. Not to mention the smell of the place, i don't mind the smell of weed , but man looks like they clean up there once a month. Bathrooms are just horrible. and Dave and crew just don't give F****. I gave it too many chances before deciding to finally move to a warehouse for a much better deal. If your paying that much for a small simple room it should at least smell decent and not worry about water leakage/noise/parking/where to take a shit. read more

A++ Looking for studio space? No Brainer - Go here or through this business when looking for rehearsal/recording spaces. Tired of mommy and daddy or your neighbors telling you to "turn it down"? Well go here and you might have your neighbors to tell you to "turn it up!". Good vibes, great networking, and love the surrounding establishments (Food, Entertainment, etc) The staff is very friendly and come with a warm welcome. It is nice and safe, full surveillance, and clean. Thank you for such a great experience! read more

If I could give a zero I would. This place is not workable and all they want is money. I was at the San Pedro location first but because of the sounds I moved to the Long Beach please were they promoted as newly and improved with better sound proofing. TotAl lies. The communication is horrible and due to. I moved out with 30 days notice and I have not received my deposit back. No damage at all. Sent emails and calls and they have both gone unanswered. I'd stay clear and keep your money read more

worst place and people ever. cockroaches everywhere, feces on the walls, constant drum banging so you cant hear, record, do podcasts or anything. after leasing they wont respond to anything you ask or any concerns. they push you off on other people. homeless people come inside and you have multiple people using the place as a home so the restrooms are always filthy and trash is everywhere. disgusting place, go to fullerton for better places. read more

Seems like a pretty cool place, affordable spaces Awesome people, talented musicians, good vibes, close to several choices of nearby restaurants of different preferences ethnic food, vegan, vegetarian, healthy, fast food, Barcades such as Mission Control & I'm sure there is more to come as Downtown Santa Ana's vibe including its local Restaurants & visitor attractions get even better and better by the day. The whole downtown dynamic has changed so much and I'm totally diggin, It's Santa Ana like I have never seen it look before, perfect place to go out with your buddies and throw back a few craft brews after your jam session as well. Several of my friends who practice and rehearse at the studios also perform at the surrounding nearby venues for the lunchtime and afternoon folks who come to hang out will enjoy the bands out on their lunch breaks, on their dates or while relaxing eating their dinner. There's a little bit of something for everybody to enjoy. As long as you follow the rules and abide by studio guidelines and respect the property & people, no troubles or creating any kind of disruptions or distractions to other surrounding studio units, be courteous, smile and respectful to those you run or bump into along the way and treat others how you would like to be treated then I don't see why there should be any issues, just be mindful of others while they are working. I call it "studio etiquette", I did internship at a recording studio and went to school for production so that's important and how I know, I don't know everything and I'm not going to tell you specifics on what you need to do to get a studio, just the essentials on the minimum requirements based upon common courtesy and what our parents taught us all growing up. That's just standard and being polite. Looks pretty cool, I heard they were building a new Lockout studio location in the same area nearby so there should be some newer studio units or I would guess that should be opening up here pretty soon. It's all just a matter based on availability, Early bird always gets the worm. Who knows, we'll see.. Looks like they have put a lot of work into the studio facilities at the Lockout Music Studios, seems like a pretty righteous atmosphere though!! read more

Wouldn't recommend this place. Sound acoustics is horrible it will drive you crazy when you try to play your music and hear outside noise. Plus that place is not in a good area. read more
